Ash Dykes has five Guinness World Records. He’s trekked through some of the world’s toughest environments. And he just can’t stop. The extreme adventurer has recently completed a 700km (434 mile) journey through the Congo Basin in central Africa by inflatable kayak. It was the first of six expeditions he’s doing back-to-back. The journey was documented ‘live’ on his socials.
So how do you prepare for challenges like this? Why do they seem to get tougher and tougher? Where is the limit? Ash joins us in the What in the World studio to talk about his mission, why he keeps raising the bar, and what he says to those who criticise him.
